TakaraTomy release date: November 23, 2019

Part of the second wave Siege Leader Class figures, “Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime” is an extensive retool of the same line’s Ultra Magnus, taking heavy design cues from Cybertron Optimus Prime (the Japanese series name being ”Galaxy Force,” which is referenced in the name). He transforms into a heavily armed fire truck like the Cybertron figure, but with a Cybertronian aesthetic. The two ”W-30 Magnetic Inducer Launchers” are unpainted blasters from Siege Ultra Magnus, and as such, mirror the detailing placed just behind Robots in Disguise Ultra Magnus’s cab. Their hexagonal tips resembling Cybertron Optimus Prime’s Super Mode leg cannons were likely a foresight for this retooling, but are molded in black rather than grey likely due to gang-molding. Optimus Prime also features ”battle damage” paint applications on several parts of his body, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate ”Fire Blasts” from the Battle Masters assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.
The core figure’s robot mode is inspired by Prime’s Generation 1 look, but with vehicle mode details and coloration (including yellow eyes) based on the cab of his Cybertron counterpart. As with the original Cybertron figure, the barrel of the truck’s left cannon can be detached and wielded by Prime as a rifle called the ”JF-15 Gravity Force Laser.” The sides of the bumper in truck mode can detach and form arm cannons based on his Cybertron counterpart’s forearms. All five weapons are compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. Because of the nature of the mold, additional shoulderpads resembling halves of his truck cab were included to complete the Super Mode’s resemblance to the template. The vehicle mode’s cannons can be underslung and handheld similarly to the Cybertron figure thanks to the sliding pegs, but lack the original’s gimmicks. Unlike Ultra Magnus, Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime also features flip-out support struts on the leg armor to compensate the back’s weight. While they’re hardly needed since the armor’s bulk is heavy enough to support the weight, the pieces also prevent the leg armors from standing flat when left folded in.
Unlike the Voyager Class figure, this Prime is fully compatible with the Magnus Armor, as is Ultra Magnus with Optimus’s Super Mode gear. Also, whether intentional or not, the figure scales almost perfectly with other figures from the original Cybertron line.
The box art of his vehicle modes is mistransformed, likely as a result of using CGI renders; the two shoulder pieces are shown being left on, which is genuinely impossible and in fact appear to be clipped through each other. They are instead stored inside the leg armor, which forms the back end of the trailer. Strangely, the clear blue plastic used for the cab has light bars molded in, but they are painted over in red. Presumably this is to make the inner robot appear more like G1 Optimus, but results in a less accurate vehicle mode compared to the Cybertron design.
Additionally, there are existing stock photos of the figure without the wingpack and the smaller robot head flipped out.
